Well, have you ever seen thai series?? The included ads there were more obvious and unnatural compared to kdramas.…
It doesn't bother me any more. In the beginning when i first started watching Kdramas i was shocked, annoyed and amused at the same time, but now i love Kdramas so I'm used to it.

to be fair esp this " a patriarchal and Hierarchical society and 30-40 year old virgin's still living at home…
30-40 year old virgin's still living at home with the parents is definitely not all tv, lmao, only in Asian, Indian and arab tv would that be normal but not everywhere else. Also what's kfxramas?

I understand why you used the spoiler, lol. Yes i agree some do it sparingly and inconspicuously but most of them use it frequently making it blatantly obvious in a obtruding way. For example, they're not going to convince me that instant coffee is way better than something like a freshly made cappuccino just because the FL told me so. Thank you for the response, it must of taken you a while to write that one up.

Dude just use brave it's add free and so comfortable believe me u won't get a single add on your screen u listen…
I'm not talking about commercials, I'm talking about product placements within the drama, like when the FL will have instant coffee and she would praise it like it's the best coffee she's ever had and the camera would have real close up of the brand of coffee.

Maybe the ML is just trying to be polite in taking care of things like standing in line to get the drink, ice-cream,…
Yeah sometimes it's a set up for a surprise, but not all the time. That's why i was asking if they actually do this in reality. It just doesn't make sense to me to leave my date alone somewhere when we can stay together. I mean it doesn't matter if we're waiting in line at least we're together, we could be holding hands, talking, kissing or something like that. But remember I'm only talking about when you leave your date alone somewhere you can't see her, not if she's only like 10m away, that's fine.

Ikr. It literally ruins the whole mood. The other day I was watching this drama and suddenly the FL was showing…
The product placement in Kdramas is just peculiar and amusing at the same time, I've never seen anything like it. It's like the actors are in character and then all of a sudden they're not, it simply lowers the value of the drama. Have you ever seen the movie The Truman Show with Jim Carey? In a few scenes the wife of Jim Carey is in character and then in the next moment she's advertising a product like coffee, tea or utensils. They did this deliberately not to sell the products but for the actual progression of the movie, it's one of the reasons the ML discovers he's on set of a tv show. But that's a perfect example of what it feels like watching Kdramas.

IKR. I saw in one drama when like the ML had to cross the street to get an umbrella. I mean, why don't you guys…
Yes, it literally doesn't make any sense unless it's for the progression of the drama, like the FL getting abducted. That's why i asked the question if this happens in reality, because why would you leave your date alone somewhere when she can just easily come with you to keep each other company holding hands or whatever? I think Asians believe it's romantic, but it's not. In my opinion it's not polite to leave your date alone.

It would be filled with misunderstandings, obtruding frequently obvious unwelcomed and intrusive product placements, awful fashion (especially for the FL), a charming but flawed female protagonist, an evil disapproving mother in law eager to mess up her son's relationships, car accidents, terminal illness or amnesia, piggyback rides, arm grabs, back hugs, body swapping, alcohol (lots and lots of alcohol), vomiting, hangover medicine, karaoke, ramen, a patriarchal and Hierarchical society and 30-40 year old virgin's still living at home with the parents.

Well then explain why compared to the rest of the world Kdramas advertisers products in such an obtruding and frequently obvious way that it looks like I'm watching a commercial? I understand the difference between NETFLIX and free to air as the latter uses commercials, but when comparing Kdramas to other dramas (ALL EXISTING ON NETFLIX) there's a vast contrast between them. Maybe other dramas uses such strategies but like I said they use it sparingly and inconspicuously that I don't even notice. Which brings me back to my original question, why do Kdramas impose their products in an unwelcome and intrusive manner?

I guess Kdramas aren't popular enough if they need to rely on sponsors to make a living. All the dramas i watch on NETFLIX without commercials that aren't from Korea don't use sponsors and if they do we don't notice it because they use it sparingly and inconspicuously, whereas Kdramas use it frequently making it blatantly obvious.

I'm pretty sure you could just google "product placements in Korean dramas" to get a way better answer than you…
I prefer the honest opinions and feedback from fans in MDL that have experience in Kdramas rather than some random google search pages with no credibility. You do realise this doesn't only happen in the final episode of a drama but multiple times in every episode from beginning to end. I know many dramas around the world use sponsors but they use it sparingly and inconspicuously, whereas Kdramas use it frequently making it blatantly obvious.

Probably not because it's an historical period drama, so they can't really advertise products, but i was talking in general.

Yes i guess you're right. In Kdramas they just seem to make it more obvious, but in other countries it's more inconspicuous.

I understand what your saying but that only applies to free to air tv where they have to use commercials. I watch shows from other countries with no commercials on NETFLIX and they don't use sponsors like we see in Kdramas. Which brings me back to my original question, why do Koreans do this?
